Waiting for Dad: ( for every child who waited by the window ) - Hardcover

by Patsy Hood (Author)

A heartfelt story of love, longing, and the courage to heal.

Waiting for Dad follows the emotional journey of Tommy, a little boy who waits by the window for a father who doesn't always come. With each missed promise, Tommy's heart aches a little more-but through the love of his mother and brother, he discovers something powerful:

he is worthy, he is lovable, and he is not defined by someone else's absence.

As Tommy grows older, the weight of childhood hurt shapes his life-but it doesn't break him. Instead, he rises above it. Through faith, strength, and determination, Tommy transforms his pain into purpose. From leaving behind negative influences to becoming a mentor to children just like him, Tommy proves that healing is possible, and a beautiful life can come after heartbreak.

This deeply touching story gently reminds children-and adults-that:

✔ You are not forgotten

✔ You are not unlovable

✔ You are not the empty promise

✔ You deserve real, steady love

A powerful book for children facing separation, disappointment, or the absence of a parent.

Perfect for families, counselors, teachers, therapists, and anyone who wants to help a child feel seen and valued.
